So much for that drivel from liberals about Dubya turning America
into a Fundamentalist Christian Theocracy.

This won't stop them from saying it. They've gone over the edge - mentally.

And yet that same library in S.F. will hold a gay rights book study or a global warming action group. In todays world activism and religion is one in the same to most of the left.

The solution seems to be to get rid of the wellness act all together. People are responsible for their own health care. Second, the church should find a private residence to hold worship service or fellowship. Tax dollars and churches don’t mix. They don’t pay for the library so they, as a church, don’t get to use it.

Persecution of christians???? That is quite a reach. Certainly there are plenty of christians who liked the outcome of that vote.

Lord have mercy.

Fags and phony global warming are welcome but Christians are not. What a world what a world.

Isn’t there a Catholic majority in the SCOTUS? This is just stunning.

Agreed. It seems a bit of a stretch to say “If they won’t come to our Church to hear us, they might come to the library to hear us”. Having said that, however- if the church doesn’t get to use the library, neither should any other meeting-group.

So much for the Conservative Supreme court.

Aside from Scalia and Thomas and possibly Roberts and Alitto, its the same old liberal cant from the Ennead of Idiots.

Do American Christian citizens pay taxes? Where do Libraries get the money to be built and stocked?

Certainly there are plenty of christians who liked the outcome of that vote.

Why would they like it?

Sometimes the Court will refuse to hear a case because it is not "ripe." The issue might be better decided in a later case with differing circumstances.

Maybe they decided to defer to the states and their elected representatives, rather than micromanaging local policy by legislating from the bench.

That very comment crossed my mind too when I read the article.

Churches should stop providing insurance coverage.

Why do churches have employees anyway?

And, fifty years ago lots of Christians considered it to be a lack of faith in God to have health insurance. Ain’t that something to think about.
